Rectangles J and K are similar. If the area of rectangle J is 440, what is the area of rectangle K? I need this today

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

$Area = 27.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$J_{Area} = 440$

$J_{Width} = 22$

$K_{Width} = 5.5$

<em>See attachment</em>

Required

Determine the area of K

First, we need to calculate the length of the rectangle J

$J_{Length} * J_{Width} = J_{Area}$

This gives:

$J_{Length} * 22 = 440$

Divide both sides by 22

$\frac{J_{Length} * 22}{22} = \frac{440}{22}$

$J_{Length} = 20$

So, the length of the rectangle J is 20.

Since both shapes are similar, then:

$J_{Length} : J_{Width} = K_{Length} : `K_{Width}$

Substitute the known values:

$20 : 22 = K_{Length} : `5.5$

Express as fraction:

$\frac{20 }{ 22 }= \frac{K_{Length} }{ `5.5}$

Make Length, the subject of formula

$K_{Length} = \frac{5.5 * 20}{22}$

$K_{Length} = \frac{110}{22}$

$K_{Length} = 5$

The area of K is:

$Area = K_{Length} * K_{Width$

$Area = 5.5 * 5$

$Area = 27.5$

Put this equation into slope-<br> intercept form.<br> 3x – 2y = 4

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

y= 3/2x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

make y be on one side by itself ( -2y = -3x + 4 )

divide by negative 2 in order to get y by itself ( -2y/-2 = -3/-2 + 4/-2 )

two negatives make a positive ( y = 3/2 + -2 )

Help me with any of these please

kumpel [21]

K, so here we go:
1. 3/4 + 3/4. When adding fractions, you only add the numerator or whole numbers (doesn't have a whole number, but the numerator's are the top numbers) NOT the denominator (bottom number) Add 3+3, and this gives you 6. Keep the 4 the same, and you get 6/4. The answer is 6/4, but you can make this a proper fraction, and say it's 1 and 2/4 (one is the whole number, it's like the 4 in number 3)

2. 2- 1 and 1/8. This is just subtraction, subtract the whole numbers first. 2-1=1. now, assume the 2 is 2 and 0/8, and you just took away 1. Now, it's 1 and 0/8. Now, take away another 1/8 and you get 7/8

3. Just division. The Answer is 3/2, or 1 and 1/2

4. Simple division again. Divide 15 by 3. You get 5. This is 1/3 of 15, because 5*3=15.

5. An 8 sided polygon is known as an octagon.

6. A=B*H (Area= base times height.)

7. A quarter is 4. It takes 4 quarter pounds to make a pound (think like money. a quarter is 25 cents. it takes 4 quarters to make a dollar. If you want 60 dollars, how many quarters would you need?) Well, take 60*4, and you get 240. You can make 240 quarter pounders from 60 pounds of meat.
___________________________________________________________
TO CLARIFY:
1= 6/4 OR 1 and 2/4
2= 7/8
3=3/2 OR 1 and 1/2
4=5
5=Octagon.
6: A=B*H
7. 240 quarter pounders
